NIOSH Research Agenda
Before 1996:
– National symposia on the leading
causes of occupationally-related
illness and injury
– Ten strategies
After 1996:
– National Occupational Research
Agenda (NORA)
A national partnership effort to define and conduct priority research

NORA 1996 to the Present
• 1996 NORA established
– Public-Private Framework setting OSH research agenda for the Nation
• 2006 Second Decade of NORA
– Organized research around 8 major industrial categories
– Focus: research to practice

The BNI Method
We select the most important
work to protect the
workforce
We identify priorities to guide
investments
We base priorities on the
evidence of burden, need
and impact.

BNI and Research Priorities
Burden
• Burden estimates drive the priority setting process
• Morbidity and mortality
• Disability and severity
• Economic costs
• Emerging Issues
Need
• Need identifies the most appropriate activities to conduct
• Stakeholder input
• NIOSH advantage
• Broad context fit
Impact
• Impact identifies activities with the greatest likelihood of success in preventing or reducing burden
Research Priorities
• BNI method selects priority research to guide investments to ensure that we do the most impactful work to protect the workforce

construction than any other industry in the
United States in 2015, accounting for
21.4% of the nation’s 4,379 work-related
deaths that year (BLS)
